We represent our clients in litigations before general courts, including the Slovak Supreme Court, and there have been many occasions when we defended our clients’ fundamental human rights and freedoms before the Slovak Constitutional Court or the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. In addition, we represent our clients in arbitrations, both Slovak and international, and one of our senior partners is a registered arbitrator of the arbitration court of the Slovak Bar Association. Our clients often use our services to be represented as lenders in bankruptcies and restructuring, but also when they wish to purchase assets or a business that can no longer meet its financial obligations. Lastly, we are ready to represent our clients in administrative proceedings, in case they face investigations by state agencies for breach of statutory obligations – this may involve investigations by miscellaneous agencies, such as the Slovak Trade Inspection, Labour Inspection, customs or building authorities.
